Maybe he can get a job as English-Speaking spokesperson for the Venezuelan Regime.

I hear Jeremy Clarkson is camping out at Heathrow Airport just for the chance to slap Piers Morgan again.

I’d unload the whole thing on that sucker:

It’s difficult to describe landing on a list of the nation’s most violent cities as a good thing, but for many localities on Law Street’s new list, there was cause for modest celebration.

Many of the towns saw their violent crime rates drop significantly in the first six months of 2013, compared to that same time period in 2012.

Law Street looked at towns with populations of 200,000 or fewer and compared data on murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report.

Ten towns and two of them on Gun Friendly States.  But the Opposition will continue to ignore and create their own numbers out of thin statistical air.

They have to know they are losing the public perception battle and that is why we will see more attempts via state legislatures to push Colorado and NY SAFE act-style restrictions.

It is 12:22 am as I write this. 25 years ago I was  standing guard in my family’s property with a single shot shotgun, about 20 rounds of buck & slugs, a Walther PPK .32ACP with a spare mag and perhaps 25 extra rounds for it. 24 hours before I would have thought I was well prepared for the usual contingencies, but at that time I realized I was woefully under-gunned.

Why standing guard? We were in the middle of what is euphemistically called a total breakdown of society. Riots and looting were everywhere and people were breaking into neighbor’s houses to steal, kill and set everything on fire.  My parents, God bless them, always believed in the good of people and believed we would be spared by the Grace of God. I was more of a Doubting Thomas and decided that I trusted God, but it also paid off to make sure nobody else behaved un-Christian toward us.

By morning, the country was deep into chaos and I was jittery with so much coffee intake. The smell of smoke was heavy and shot were ringing everywhere. I was in shock as I thought “this could not happen here! What the hell is going on?”

Rumors were flying, the news was showing that we were pretty much on our own as the government appeared to be paralyzed and unable to come to grips with the situation; no law enforcement to speak of anywhere. Vandals were the only force out on the streets and were not shy about using their new-found power in the vacuum.

Somehow my hazy brain realized that there was an option to increase our chances to stay safe: Bathtub Napalm. I was partial to the gasoline and soap (real soap,not detergent) but I also realized that I was not in the best frame of mind to be as careful as I needed to be to come up with the optimal mixture. I ended up creating molotov cocktails with soap shaving added for flavor. They did not work as well as my previous concoctions, but they could still do plenty damage. I just needed an extra to keep the crazies away till some semblance of order came back… and it did, with vengeance on day 3.

It took the Government  two more days to get the situation under control and not without a lot of violence. The official toll was 276 killed and many (me included) laugh at that shortness of that number. Monetary losses were never quantified and the country pretty much lost its previous innocence.

Fortunately, we were spared from damage & idiots. OK, so Mom’s & Wife’s prayers worked.

I learned a lot from those days: Mobs are stupid, temperamental and lose any decency that they may have as individuals. Governments are blunt tools that have no qualms exercising power with extreme prejudice when it suits them. The result is this last picture, also from those days:

Imploring the intercession of St. Gabriel Possenti is always a good idea too.

GLADE SPRING, VA (WJHL) –
According to people who knew the Palmers, domestic abuse had been going on for years in the Palmer family.

“About six years ago when I was called to Virginia High School to meet with her, she had a broken nose and black eyes,” Johnson said. “She appeared to be very scared of her husband and afraid to go back to the situation, but she was also equally scared to not go back.”

Then six years later, the abuse still happening, Kristin Palmer told law enforcement about instances of recent abuse.

Kevin was arrested for domestic abuse last week, but then posted bail quickly after and was released. Kathy Johnson, executive director of Abuse Alternative said they urged Kristin to file for an order of protection.

On February 24, the day before Kristin and Griffin died, she filed an order of protection.

“It’s extremely hard to monitor that individual, once he’s served, basically they’re put on notice to not have contact with that individual and again were hoping that they abide by the guidelines of that protective order, that won’t happen,” Washington County, Va. Sheriff Fred Newman said.

Today is turning out to be a very depressing day. At least the sadists at CSGV got to bake their cake and eat it too: “No dear woman, you shan’t be armed as you may dies by the gun or kill your innocent misunderstood husband. But in case you get murdered, rest assured we shall use you like a bloody rag-doll. “

The lawyer for acquitted killer George Zimmerman said the rules for Florida murder trials should be changed so jurors are only instructed to consider the lenient standards of the state’s “stand your ground” self-defense law when a case merits it.

I “love” the way it sounds, like GZ got to walk on a technicality instead of being found not guilty by a jury.

I swear if Jesus was found not to be a card-carrying member of the ACLU and donated to Mayor Rahm’s campaign,  “journalists”  like Barbara Liston would wholeheartedly agree with His execution and might even suggest that crucifixion was too lenient.

Some days you just want to give up… but then you realize those “journalists” live in Chicago and have to deal with the mess they helped create…. and you get to smile.
